==Chris and language==
One's '''personality''' is a set of mental, emotional, and behavioral qualities that make up an individual's character. Studying personality is a key aspect of psychology, allowing experts to know what makes people the way they are. There are many methods for testing one's personality, with some backed by decades of scientific research, and others created by random people on [[Facebook]] to show ads.  
'''Languages''' are systems of communication consisting of units of meaning (i.e. words) arranged in a structured and conventional way. Chris has yet to learn how to communicate effectively, and therefore is incredibly poor at any language he uses.


Living in the US all his life, Chris uses English as his primary language in both writing and discourse. He also learned Spanish as a second language, although poorly due to lack of practice. He has also used some phrases and words from other languages and has shown interest in learning Japanese.
Chris's personality is quite eclectic. It is what draws countless people around the globe to study and follow his antics. He has spoken quite a bit on his own idea of his personality, but his own insight doesn't always jive with [[reality]].


Chris commits multiple mistakes in both writing and speaking due to a variety of reasons. Chris stopped speaking at the [[Abusive babysitter|age of 1]], and he didn't start again until the very late age of 7 years. Chris barely has any interaction with other humans offline. His autism and literal thinking also contributes to this problem; he takes sentences at face value, not thinking of any implication or hidden meanings in the sentence.
His personality has undergone quite the change since Bob's death, with some traits undergoing a full 180.


Chris is somewhat better at writing than speaking, since Chris writes more often than he speaks, and writing allows him to read over what he says before he presses ''send''. Still, Chris's writing is riddled with grammatical, semantic, and literary flaws.
==Disclaimer==


[[File:Myers-Briggs type indicator.jpg|thumb|The Myers-Briggs type indicator is a popular personality test system.]]
Personality testing is a controversial field, with few tests used universally within the scientific community. Even the famous Myers-Briggs test, while useful for rough workplace assessments, is somewhat vague. It misses key areas like creativity and openness, and people who take the test often get different results over time. The closest thing to a gold standard is the Big Five, or OCEAN test.


===Common problems===
This article discusses various aspects of Chris's personality, but is not to be taken as a substitute for an actual psych-eval.


====CWC-isms====
==Introversion vs extraversion==
{{Main|CWC-isms}}
Chris has shown traits of both introversion (reservedness, solitude) and extraversion (people-seeking, sociability) over the years. It should be be noted that no person is a true introvert or a true extrovert, rather it is more akin to a [[Autism|spectrum]] which people fall on, and people can behave differently in different contexts.  
Chris has a habit of creating new words and using them without explaining what they mean in conversations. The CWC-ism "[[Tugboat]]" was used by Chris in an [[Cole Smithey E-mails|E-mail to Cole]] without telling him what it means. Oher words include "[[Noviophobia]]", "[[China]]" and "[[Duck|Ducks]]".


====Writing====
At [[Manchester High School|high school]], Chris appears to have been fairly introverted, though with a drive to be extroverted. A [[Manchester_High_Leaks#Getting_Acquainted|leaked icebreaker worksheet]] shows that Chris only talked to 7 of his class-mates. They were all [[Noviophobia|female]]. Despite trying to later hold a high school reunion, in the [[Song of Christian]], a 16-year old Chris describes having few friends and how his "loneliness is off the scale”. Even with the social prestige of being a water-boy to the school [[Bionic the Hedgehog|basketball team]] and his [[Gal-pals]], Chris took his [[Barbara Chandler|mom]] to the school prom. Nearly 10 years after the prom, Chris talked about feeling like an outcast at the prom, however his highlight of the evening was when one of his [[Tiffany Gowen|gal-pals]] felt sorry for him and "pulled [him] onto the dance floor". This dance "felt like hours" to Chris.<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#The Seinor Prom]]</ref>
{{Main|Chris and writing}}
In all languages, Chris's writing suffers from a lack of vocabulary, and using long words to attempt to sound intelligent, but often using them incorrectly, having the opposite effect. His unnecessary detailing and staggered flow can make reading his literary works cumbersome.


=====Penmanship=====
Around the time of discovery by [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], Chris was mainly an introvert. He kept to himself and barely spoke to anyone but his sweetheart. He joined most public chats in both [[IRC|text]] and [[Mumble|voice]] forms only after being goaded by his current sweetheart<ref>[[BlueSpike Skype Logs 5#February 10]]</ref> or a troll. And even in these chats, he didn't converse a lot, and only answered questions directed towards him. Even while playing video games, he mostly stuck to playing single player games such as God of War, Pokemon, Sonic and Animal Crossing. Any multiplayer game he did play was mostly with his sweetheart like LittleBigPlanet and Burnout Paradise. Before his discovery, when he frequented the THe GAMe PLAce, he mostly kept to himself (and Megan), and rarely interacted with other people except during card games.<Ref>[[Lucas and Mimms Q&A#Chris's behavior]]</ref>
In contrast to the formless nature of his artwork, Chris has halfway-decent penmanship. Still, he often writes the wrong letter and ends up having to either scribble over it or "fudge" it into another letter. This has caused him to replace the handwriting in the comic with Comic Sans lettering in order to make it more legible. Though since issue 12-9 he has switched to Proxima Nova.


====Oration====
Classic Chris, therefore would clearly fall on the introvert side of the spectrum but he isn't a full on introvert as he did visit an [[Anime Mid-Atlantic|anime expo in 2004 and 2005]]. New Chris however would easily fall on he extrovert side since 2017 as he started publicly responding to people, started playing multiplayer and co-op games such as Tetris 99 and PayDay 2, visited multiple conventions like [[Bronycon]], [[Omegacon]], [[BABScon]] and the [[TooManyGames]] expo. He has also started streaming videos, and answering questions his fans have. He has also joined public and private discord groups, though his interaction with other humans in them is limited. On [[Twitter]], he has started interacting (although poorly) to a ton of people ranging from artists to [[enablers]].
{{Main|Chris and oratory}}
In all languages, Chris has a lack of vocabulary knowledge, and a stutter, that cause it to be rather difficult to understand him oftentimes.  


===English===
==Kindness vs resentment==
{{Main|English}}
:''Main article: [[Kindness]]''
Editors note - For discussing his problems in english


English is the most widely spoken language on Earth and Chris living in the USA should have been a master at it. Sadly, Chris's grasp on english is tenuous at best. His communication skills have suffered from a lack of vocabulary and heavy speech impediments including stuttering. Whilst singing and muttering prove as large obstacles to understanding Chris's speech, that's the least of the problems when it comes to Chris's communication skills.
While Chris may strive to be kind, his efforts often fall flat and instead come across as annoying, overwhelming or creepy. Chris at least shows he makes an effort to look like a kind person, and he has referred to himself as the "kind and compassionate Christine Chandler".<ref>[[A New, Fun Trick]]</ref> But saying you're kind and actually being kind are two different things.


====Writing====
Many of Chris's attempts at being kind, from calling complete strangers "[[darling]]" to [[TooManyGames|kissing]] guys he just met, are a clear violation of other's boundaries and easily make people feel uncomfortable. Ironically, his attempts can be quite unkind.
{{Main|Chris and writing}}
His writing is riddled with wrong spellings, bad grammar, unnecessarily capitalised words, wrong syntaxes and non-existant words. He also sometimes reverses words, to exemplify some kind of significance, such as Pmurt, which is just Trump backwards, because he didn't like the United States President at the time.


His fondness of big words and semicolons despite his childlike writing style causes some of his writings to be very difficult to understand. He also has a poor concept of flow in his writing, often over-detailing things that are lack significance, leading one to lose their place in the story; Even in action sequences, Chris will sometimes explain something in excruciating detail, even though brevity and verbs are essential to keep the flow of the action going.
==Empathy vs antipathy==
:''Main articles: [[Remorse]] and [[Anger]]''


He also has problems with foreshadowing, as he can often foreshadow things which are irrelevant to the plot, or never following up, missing the point of the writing device in the first place. This causes his literary works such as the Sonichu comics to be very difficult to follow. Chris also has difficulty implementing exposition, often exposing unnecessary details and doing so in a very unsubtle manner.
Anger, or ''tard rage'' as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality. Also notable is his lack of empathy, beyond the point where it can be autism-related.  


His difficulty interacting with [[reality]] also causes Chris to conclude that his characters are real, making it ethical for them to never experience any difficulty or hardship, not realising that this can produce boring and tedious plots, with absolutely no conflict whatsoever.
Chris uses apologies as a performative tool for making amends and not as a genuine expression of guilt.


====Speaking====
==Openness vs obstinacy==
{{Main|Chris and oratory|Speech impediment}}
In psychology, openness is a person's receptivity to new or unfamiliar experiences and ideas, including changes.
Unfortunately, Chris usually has a hard time speaking, whether it's due to his nervousness or a speech impediment, it all stems from his [[autism]]. However, he also has inherited some regional dialect, such as the use of 'em and y'all, and omits the letter "t" when it is too much effort to pronounce, a common trait of American English.  


The other problems have may originate from high-frequency hearing loss that Chris experienced as a young child, or perhaps he simply has [[Wikipedia:Cluttering|tachyphemia]], which seems to explain a lot of the symptoms.
It is to be noted that no person is completely open to change and no person is completely against it. People tend to be open regarding views to things that don't matter to them and like to remain closed about topics that is close to them. Chris is no exception.


The main problems Chris has outside of dialect are:
Chris is not very open to thoughts that differ from his, he rejects opinions and actual scientific facts if they do not match his beliefs. When he used to hate the LGBT community, he would reject anyone trying to convince him otherwise how much ever sense they made. He had also gone to the point where he rejected the fact that Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism just because he didn't like it.  
*Frequent sighing and ums and uhs.
*Stuttering.
*Speaking too quickly and slurring words, this behaviour is characteristic of children.
*Occasional [[Wikipedia:Spoonerism|spoonerism]].
*Trouble pronouncing post-vocalic Ls, resulting in examples such as medal being pronounced "meadow".
*Trouble pronouncing the letter "X" (/ks/ or /gz/), as well as related consonantal digraphs (/sk/, /st/), pronouncing it either as an "/s/" sound (elision) or as a "/t͡s/" sound (fronting). Pronouncing box as bots and six as sits.
*Trouble pronouncing "th", usually pronouncing it "d", even when it's not intentional.


===Spanish===
His hatred for the xbox too was due to him being closed on the subject, how many ever great games and features people showed him on the xbox, he would reject it and fixate on minor flaws the system had.
{{Main|Spanish}}


Despite learning Spanish for two years, Chris has often made rather basic errors in the language, some examples include:
However, after he came out as a transgender, he became much more open to the LGBT and accepted people as equals, but his obstinacy has merely shifted topics, for example he completely believes in the Dimensional merge and anyone telling him otherwise is rejected as a troll. He openly rejects proof that the merge isn't happening and cherry picks minor incidents that seem to support his agenda.
*Using "ein" instead of "ien", a bad habit Chris has borrowed from his English writing ability, a common example of this is "bien", Chris would instead write "bein", the difference between them is easily notices by saying them out loud.
*Only using the present indicative tense, causing sentences that are set in different tenses to sound wrong.
*Being very inconsistent with punctuation and accents that are unique to the language.


===Others===
A lot of his close mindedness can be blamed on his autism, as autistics are generally scared of change.
Other than the two major languages Chris uses, he has tried dabbling in other languages.


====Japanese====
==Chris and personality tests==
[[File:Drawing_with_Japanese_text_(second_upload).png|thumb|Chris making an entire nation proud]]
[[File:Personality quiz.jpeg|thumb|Chris chose the blue option]]
Chris being a [[Japanophilia|Japanophile]], has shown interest in learning japanese. He also uses the popular japanese words like “Kawaii" and "Senpai".
[[File:Miscpersonalitytestthing.jpg|thumb|Anudder one]]
[[File:This is Christine.png|thumb|another]]
Being a [[Twitter|social]] [[Facebook|media]] addict who also likes [[magical thinking]], it's no surprise that Chris is a fan of personality tests. He has taken many over the years, here are a few of them:


In [[November 2017]], he released a drawing of him and [[Sailor Moon]] having a conversation in Japanese. The dialog was provided by the [[Idea Guys]] and the dialog therefore is filled with memes and lewd remarks.  
*'''A Magic: The Gathering quiz''' to find out that he is most like the white color typing, as each color associated with certain personality traits, the white type is associated with law and order, being the good guy beating up the bad guy.<ref>[[August_2019_social_media_posts#Chris_takes_a_M:TG_quiz|Post in question]]</ref> This seems to indicate that Chris held to his idealistic views of good and evil, and wasn't being very true and honest in the test, since he is very anti-law when it stops him from doing what he wants.<ref>[[Chris_and_the_law#Legal_troubles]]</ref>

The last line is a reference to the manga/[[anime]] ''Fist of the North Star''.
==Dissociative identity disorder==
Due to Chris's more recent behaviours, such as a belief in [[spirit possession]] and the manifestations of cartoon characters, Chris may indeed now have a mild trauma-induced strain of [[Wikipedia:Dissociative_identity_disorder|Dissociative identity disorder]], a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states.<ref>https://archive.is/cAquC Archived article on DID, Chris shows many of the indicators listed here</ref> This is most likely connected to manipulation from the [[Idea Guys]] and other traumas in his youth due to the mistreatment of those with ASD in a clinical and social environment. It is unknown how real the characters are to Chris, but he seems very adamant that they are real and manifest physically.


The text on the bottom is possibly: "You look like the kind of person who fucks a guy in the ass and doesn't have the courtesy to ejaculate inside him," which Chris thought was "Smart hearts; smart minds; well-educated support."
The main indicators of '''DID''' that Chris displays are:
*'''Daydreaming''' - Chris often mentions daydreaming as a form of meditation, during which Chris can "visit Cwcville", Chris's [[cwcville|imaginary city]] where he is the overlord.
*'''Imaginary friends''' - Chris has a belief that all comic book characters are real people, as autonomous as any human, and that these characters exist in the real world and speak to him in his head.<ref>[[Magi-Chan]]</ref>
*'''Reality/Fantasy overlap''' - Chris not only believes that the fantasy world of cartoons is real, but that one day it will merge with reality, and that already characters like [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], [[Mewtwo]], and [[Magi-chan]] have manifested themselves physically.
*'''Transitional Objects as Self''' - Chris has often emotionally attached himself to objects, resulting in [[Tour_of_Chris%27s_House_III|hoarding]], but the place in which this behaviour is most prevalent is with his character Sonichu. Chris identifies as Mother (previously Father) of Sonichu, and indeed all Sonichus, which results in him being protective of them, causing making things like putting them in danger in the comics seem [[Chris and writing|immoral]] to him.
*'''Time Loss''' - Due to Chris's reportedly long daydreaming sessions, and poor memory associated with them, and his frequent and aggressive habit of lying it can be suspected that this is a result of DID.
*'''Ability to Cut Off from Pain and an Awareness of Danger''' - Chris's peculiar approach to emotional pain, namely that he'll randomly cut off from it totally, can be ascribed partially to ASD, but there is also a chance it is also a symptom from some form of '''DID'''. Chris will produce very random responses, trolls efforts to destroy things that are close to him<ref>[[Medallions#Mark_1_.28and_decoy.29|Like his first medallion]]</ref> or kill those close to him<ref>Such as several gal-pals, examples of whom are: [[PandaHalo]], [[Sarah May]] and [[Ivy]].</ref> sometimes result in Chris showing little to no signs of caring in the slightest.


====Yiddish====
With this evidence, particularly noting the trauma that Chris must have received from the Idea Guy's manipulations, and Chris's current beliefs about the existence of imaginary places and people, and their ability to possess him, one may conclude that Chris having a mild form of '''DID''' is likely.
Not a language Chris has shown interest in per se, but he has used the phrase “Oy Vey“ multiple times. It has a slight anti-semitic undertone, the translation is "Shut it". He has stopped using it due to him no longer being (openly) anti-semitic


=== References ===
==="Christian" vs "Christopher"===
For two days in [[August 2009]] Chris tried to convince [[Kacey]] and the rest of his fans that he had [[Wikipedia:Dissociative_identity_disorder|Dissociative identity disorder]], a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states. One of these "personalities" was named "Christopher" and the other named "Christian", as demonstrated in a [[30_August_2009|video]] from the time.


<references/>
The video's original subject was quickly derailed by "Christopher", Chris's more "repressed" personality, by interrupting "Christian" mid-sentence, and having a free-flowing sentence with "Christian", something which is almost impossible for somebody with '''DID''' to do, due to usually not sharing memories, or surfacing at the same time. Chris did not end up managing to fool anyone into believing he had the disorder, and Kacey reprimanded him for pretending to have '''DID''' and lying to her. Chris apologised and said he made it up to "fuel" the trolls, which still leaves one to wonder why he tried to convince Kacey it was true.

One's personality is a set of mental, emotional, and behavioral qualities that make up an individual's character. Studying personality is a key aspect of psychology, allowing experts to know what makes people the way they are. There are many methods for testing one's personality, with some backed by decades of scientific research, and others created by random people on Facebook to show ads.

Chris's personality is quite eclectic. It is what draws countless people around the globe to study and follow his antics. He has spoken quite a bit on his own idea of his personality, but his own insight doesn't always jive with reality.

His personality has undergone quite the change since Bob's death, with some traits undergoing a full 180.

Disclaimer

The Myers-Briggs type indicator is a popular personality test system.

Personality testing is a controversial field, with few tests used universally within the scientific community. Even the famous Myers-Briggs test, while useful for rough workplace assessments, is somewhat vague. It misses key areas like creativity and openness, and people who take the test often get different results over time. The closest thing to a gold standard is the Big Five, or OCEAN test.

This article discusses various aspects of Chris's personality, but is not to be taken as a substitute for an actual psych-eval.

Introversion vs extraversion

Chris has shown traits of both introversion (reservedness, solitude) and extraversion (people-seeking, sociability) over the years. It should be be noted that no person is a true introvert or a true extrovert, rather it is more akin to a spectrum which people fall on, and people can behave differently in different contexts.

At high school, Chris appears to have been fairly introverted, though with a drive to be extroverted. A leaked icebreaker worksheet shows that Chris only talked to 7 of his class-mates. They were all female. Despite trying to later hold a high school reunion, in the Song of Christian, a 16-year old Chris describes having few friends and how his "loneliness is off the scale”. Even with the social prestige of being a water-boy to the school basketball team and his Gal-pals, Chris took his mom to the school prom. Nearly 10 years after the prom, Chris talked about feeling like an outcast at the prom, however his highlight of the evening was when one of his gal-pals felt sorry for him and "pulled [him] onto the dance floor". This dance "felt like hours" to Chris.[1]

Around the time of discovery by Encyclopedia Dramatica, Chris was mainly an introvert. He kept to himself and barely spoke to anyone but his sweetheart. He joined most public chats in both text and voice forms only after being goaded by his current sweetheart[2] or a troll. And even in these chats, he didn't converse a lot, and only answered questions directed towards him. Even while playing video games, he mostly stuck to playing single player games such as God of War, Pokemon, Sonic and Animal Crossing. Any multiplayer game he did play was mostly with his sweetheart like LittleBigPlanet and Burnout Paradise. Before his discovery, when he frequented the THe GAMe PLAce, he mostly kept to himself (and Megan), and rarely interacted with other people except during card games.[3]

Classic Chris, therefore would clearly fall on the introvert side of the spectrum but he isn't a full on introvert as he did visit an anime expo in 2004 and 2005. New Chris however would easily fall on he extrovert side since 2017 as he started publicly responding to people, started playing multiplayer and co-op games such as Tetris 99 and PayDay 2, visited multiple conventions like Bronycon, Omegacon, BABScon and the TooManyGames expo. He has also started streaming videos, and answering questions his fans have. He has also joined public and private discord groups, though his interaction with other humans in them is limited. On Twitter, he has started interacting (although poorly) to a ton of people ranging from artists to enablers.

Kindness vs resentment

Main article: Kindness

While Chris may strive to be kind, his efforts often fall flat and instead come across as annoying, overwhelming or creepy. Chris at least shows he makes an effort to look like a kind person, and he has referred to himself as the "kind and compassionate Christine Chandler".[4] But saying you're kind and actually being kind are two different things.

Many of Chris's attempts at being kind, from calling complete strangers "darling" to kissing guys he just met, are a clear violation of other's boundaries and easily make people feel uncomfortable. Ironically, his attempts can be quite unkind.

Empathy vs antipathy

Main articles: Remorse and Anger

Anger, or tard rage as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality. Also notable is his lack of empathy, beyond the point where it can be autism-related.

Chris uses apologies as a performative tool for making amends and not as a genuine expression of guilt.

Openness vs obstinacy

In psychology, openness is a person's receptivity to new or unfamiliar experiences and ideas, including changes.

It is to be noted that no person is completely open to change and no person is completely against it. People tend to be open regarding views to things that don't matter to them and like to remain closed about topics that is close to them. Chris is no exception.

Chris is not very open to thoughts that differ from his, he rejects opinions and actual scientific facts if they do not match his beliefs. When he used to hate the LGBT community, he would reject anyone trying to convince him otherwise how much ever sense they made. He had also gone to the point where he rejected the fact that Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism just because he didn't like it.

His hatred for the xbox too was due to him being closed on the subject, how many ever great games and features people showed him on the xbox, he would reject it and fixate on minor flaws the system had.

However, after he came out as a transgender, he became much more open to the LGBT and accepted people as equals, but his obstinacy has merely shifted topics, for example he completely believes in the Dimensional merge and anyone telling him otherwise is rejected as a troll. He openly rejects proof that the merge isn't happening and cherry picks minor incidents that seem to support his agenda.

A lot of his close mindedness can be blamed on his autism, as autistics are generally scared of change.

Chris and personality tests

Chris chose the blue option
Anudder one
another

Being a social media addict who also likes magical thinking, it's no surprise that Chris is a fan of personality tests. He has taken many over the years, here are a few of them:

  • A Magic: The Gathering quiz to find out that he is most like the white color typing, as each color associated with certain personality traits, the white type is associated with law and order, being the good guy beating up the bad guy.[5] This seems to indicate that Chris held to his idealistic views of good and evil, and wasn't being very true and honest in the test, since he is very anti-law when it stops him from doing what he wants.[6]

Dissociative identity disorder

Due to Chris's more recent behaviours, such as a belief in spirit possession and the manifestations of cartoon characters, Chris may indeed now have a mild trauma-induced strain of Dissociative identity disorder, a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states.[7] This is most likely connected to manipulation from the Idea Guys and other traumas in his youth due to the mistreatment of those with ASD in a clinical and social environment. It is unknown how real the characters are to Chris, but he seems very adamant that they are real and manifest physically.

The main indicators of DID that Chris displays are:

  • Daydreaming - Chris often mentions daydreaming as a form of meditation, during which Chris can "visit Cwcville", Chris's imaginary city where he is the overlord.
  • Imaginary friends - Chris has a belief that all comic book characters are real people, as autonomous as any human, and that these characters exist in the real world and speak to him in his head.[8]
  • Reality/Fantasy overlap - Chris not only believes that the fantasy world of cartoons is real, but that one day it will merge with reality, and that already characters like Sonichu, Mewtwo, and Magi-chan have manifested themselves physically.
  • Transitional Objects as Self - Chris has often emotionally attached himself to objects, resulting in hoarding, but the place in which this behaviour is most prevalent is with his character Sonichu. Chris identifies as Mother (previously Father) of Sonichu, and indeed all Sonichus, which results in him being protective of them, causing making things like putting them in danger in the comics seem immoral to him.
  • Time Loss - Due to Chris's reportedly long daydreaming sessions, and poor memory associated with them, and his frequent and aggressive habit of lying it can be suspected that this is a result of DID.
  • Ability to Cut Off from Pain and an Awareness of Danger - Chris's peculiar approach to emotional pain, namely that he'll randomly cut off from it totally, can be ascribed partially to ASD, but there is also a chance it is also a symptom from some form of DID. Chris will produce very random responses, trolls efforts to destroy things that are close to him[9] or kill those close to him[10] sometimes result in Chris showing little to no signs of caring in the slightest.

With this evidence, particularly noting the trauma that Chris must have received from the Idea Guy's manipulations, and Chris's current beliefs about the existence of imaginary places and people, and their ability to possess him, one may conclude that Chris having a mild form of DID is likely.

"Christian" vs "Christopher"

For two days in August 2009 Chris tried to convince Kacey and the rest of his fans that he had Dissociative identity disorder, a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states. One of these "personalities" was named "Christopher" and the other named "Christian", as demonstrated in a video from the time.

The video's original subject was quickly derailed by "Christopher", Chris's more "repressed" personality, by interrupting "Christian" mid-sentence, and having a free-flowing sentence with "Christian", something which is almost impossible for somebody with DID to do, due to usually not sharing memories, or surfacing at the same time. Chris did not end up managing to fool anyone into believing he had the disorder, and Kacey reprimanded him for pretending to have DID and lying to her. Chris apologised and said he made it up to "fuel" the trolls, which still leaves one to wonder why he tried to convince Kacey it was true.
